TECWERK machine tap M16×2 mm — HSS‑Co, TiCN, DIN 376C

The TECWERK M16×2 machine tap for metric ISO threads, designed for cast‑iron work and both through and blind holes

• Cobalt HSS for improved wear resistance
• TiCN coating for extended tool life
• Straight flutes with relieved flanks
• Tolerance class 6HX for precise threads

Reliable thread quality for cast‑iron parts

The HSS‑Co base material combines toughness with heat resistance, making this tap well suited to repeated threading operations in cast materials. The TiCN coating reduces friction and increases tool life, which in turn lowers downtime for tool changes; together these characteristics ensure steady production output and fewer rejects. For engineers specifying threads, the 6HX tolerance and compliance with DIN 13 (sheet 1) provide a clear, measurable quality level for mating parts.

Optimised geometry for clean chips and reduced breakage

With straight flutes and relieved flanks, the tool promotes reliable chip formation when working cast iron grades such as grey cast iron and graphite cast iron. This geometry helps prevent blockage in blind holes and improves surface finish on the thread flanks, which is particularly important when subsequent assembly requires smooth engagement. The design reduces the risk of tap breakage, translating into safer machining cycles and lower rework rates.

Application versatility and simple integration

Rated as a Form C / Type GG machine tap to DIN 376C, the tool is suitable for both through and blind hole threading in temper‑hardened cast irons. The standardised M16×2 mm metric thread form simplifies part lists and tooling set‑ups across production lines. With a shank Ø 12 mm, the tap fits common collet and chuck systems, allowing straightforward integration into existing machines without additional adaptors.

Clear technical assurance and easy specification

Standards‑based specifications such as DIN 376C, metric ISO thread, and tolerance 6HX provide objective criteria for procurement and quality control. The white identification ring and the TiCN surface treatment make tool handling and inventory identification faster on the shop floor. For purchasers and process planners, these measurable properties support predictable production planning and traceable part quality.
